some process flooding oracle's .sh_history file

Platform: Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 on HP-UX B.11.11

This began just recently. While logged on to the sever with the
'oracle' account, I noticed my command line history returning a bunch
of stuff I hadn't entered. This is a very small shop, so I have a
pretty good feel for when someone else may be logged on, and the
commands in the history didn't look like anything any of us would have
entered at the command line.

Looking into oracle's .sh_history file, I found scores of entries like
this:

2 echo Start Command;LC_ALL=C;export LC_ALL;netstat -i; echo Finish
Command
3 echo Start Command; LC_ALL=C;export LC_ALL;/etc/swapinfo -t | grep
total;echo Finish Command

( I've left the vi line numbers, to deliniate individual records.)

Looks like something the dbcontrol agent would be doing to gather
stats, but if so, I've never seen it show up in the .sh_history file
before.

Anyone seen anything like this, or have and educated idea?
